Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has signed legislation to defund diversity, equity and inclusion programs at all state universities, which he called a “distraction from the core mission.”
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Monday signed legislation to defund diversity, equity and inclusion programs at all state universities, which he called a “distraction from the core mission.” “This is better viewed as standing for discrimination, exclusion and indoctrination, and that has no place in our public institutions,” DeSantis said at a news conference in Sarasota. “If you want to do things like gender ideology, go to Berkeley,” DeSantis added.
” “What this does is reorient our universities back to their traditional mission and part of that traditional mission is to treat people as individuals, not to try to divvy them up based on any type of superficial characteristics,” DeSantis said.
